As amazing as this is, and it is amazing. The part that I just keep getting hung up on at the end of the day is that this all comes down to networking and community building. Itβs like pulling teeth to get somebody to use the lightning network, let alone create a Federation.. I just donβt see how or why anyone would use this in real life. Iβm talking about the day-to-day, boring as hell, juggling kids, late to baseball practice, gotta pick something up for dinner, finally a day off on Sunday, life that 95% of people live. Donβt get me wrong, I am going to continue trying to build my local bitcoin meet up here in Statesville, Iβm going to try to push people to use this tech. But I just canβt help feel like itβs a solution to a problem that no one even cares about or realizes exists. If you truly want to see the bitcoin network grow, then start funding family and micro businesses, - entrepreneurs, who are barely making it in small towns all over the world. But still get up every day and do it because they would rather be barely making it and be free, then be rich but a slave to a corporate salary. Iβm Talking about restaurants, bike shops, coffee, houses, health food stores, private pharmacies, Ice cream shops, Bookstores, etc. back their business with a couple bitcoin grant and tell them that they can draw on those funds for business expenses, as long as they accept bitcoin payments on a discount and market, a bitcoin meetup to their community. Maybe they also have to run a bitcoin and lightning node, and create a federation. One thing that will always be true: money talks, bullshit walksβ¦. The reason the state always beats us is because they flood their NGOs with more printed money than they could ever need. Iβm not saying that we do that, what Iβm saying is you find hard-working honest family businesses to support, they are the tip of the spear. Why do you think the government has been trying to destroy them for the last 30 years? OK and rant.
